Burgundy & Gold Shaker Card

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a new project for CutCardStock. I am trying to create more masculine cards and I think this burgundy & gold shaker card fits the bill.

Materials

5 x7 Burgundy Basis Card, Burgundy Basis Card Stock, Cougar Natural Card Stock, Gold Bright Foil 10 pt Card Stock

Acetate, Saxophone Die, Banner Dies, Celebrate Sentiment Die, Double Sided Tape, Foam Tape, Glue, Chunky Star Glitter, Music Note Punch

Card Base

Start by cutting mat and background card stock pieces.

The burgundy card measures 5 x 7 inches. Cut a piece of the gold foil card stock to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. A piece of the natural card stock measures 4 3/8 x 6 3/8 inches. I also cut nine 1/4 inch pieces of the gold foil. These are for creating stripes for the background.

Adhere the 1/4 inch gold strips to the natural card stock diagonally across the top three-quarters of this piece.

Mat the natural piece onto the gold foil and add this to the burgundy card.

Die Cutting

Combine two sizes of banner dies to create a 1/2 inch width frame and cut out of burgundy card stock. Do the same to make a thinner gold frame. These pieces will form the shaker element for the card.

Die cut the saxophone.

A full size banner is cut out of natural card stock as the backing of the shaker piece. Adhere a gold “celebrate” sentiment. Add a piece of acetate to the backside of the 1/2 inch wide banner frame and add the thinner gold frame to the front.

Finishing

To put the shaker piece together, add two layers of foam tape to the backside of the frame piece and fill with the chunky star glitter. Place the solid natural colored banner onto the back to close. Add the shaker piece to the card.

The saxophone die cut goes on next and add some music notes. The project is complete!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my project. I hope I have given you some inspiration.
